Seriously, I dunno why I need so much too.... now I have 83mb with those apps on sd
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
That statement made no sense.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
if "WHOLE" app is moved to ext, why my available phone storage is keep dropping? can you explain this term?

Edit 1

"And I don't think its a good idea to have the app on EXT and app-data on SDCard, doesn't feel clean."

The app is moved to SD and it doesnt stay on ext anymore.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
app data. settings/preferences/scores are stored in a database in your data partition. Oh and cache if you haven't done a2sd cachesd.

edit: if you want to move data also to sd, you should do

$su

$a2sd data2sd

This will stop your memory from going down and is a much better solution that moving apps to sd card manually.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
I'm trying data now. Someone only taught me cache2sd.

edit1: a2sd not found
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
wow. do you even have dtapps2sd installed?

edit: wait, you didn't do this from recovery did you?

Easiest way - open terminal emulator

type the commands

it will reboot

you're done.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
I doesnt have android sdk...

I tried the command in terminal emulator.. a2sd not found.

and I already moved cache2sd last time.

This is the data2sd u meant? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852219

Download it, install in recovery, terminal emulator?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
huuuh, confusion, don't you already have dtapp2sd enabled, if you do, why are you downloading it again lol.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
before you do anything, are you already using some other apps2sd program?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
i am fully confused...

now i already have my apps (cache) on ext partition. > i use dalvik i think

i dont think i have data on my partition.

a2sd check > a2sd not found. means i dont have it right?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
on terminal, are you typing 'su' before you type a2sd check? you should do that.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
I had typed it
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
What do you mean you use dalvik?? Do you know what dalvik is???

It looks like you dont have dtapps2sd. Which apps2sd program are you using now? Which zip did you flash?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Dalvik is dalvik cache right?

LAst time i typed

Su

A2sd cache2sd (I think)

When I first use cm7

Edit 1: I check my sd-ext via rootexplorer. I have a folder call app and it has about 500mb's file. And dalvik-cache and inside has a lot of files
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
Dude, have you flashed the dtapps2sd zip every time you flash a new nightly?

Dalvik is dalvik cache, yes, but you can't "use" it, it's always there. It's a dex cache used by the system, cachesd simply moves it to the EXT partition to save space.

To activate dtapps2sd properly, you need to do the following.

1. Flash it, reboot

2. In terminal emulator, do the following.

$su

$a2sd zipalign

$a2sd reinstall

3. It will reboot, after it's done do the following

$su

$a2sd data2sd

4. It will reboot again, after its done -

$su

$a2sd cachesd reset

5. It will clear dalvik and move it to EXT. Boot will take 10 minutes.

6. Now simply flash dtapps2sd package every time you flash a new nightly, AS SOON AS YOU FLASH NIGHTLY. Don't wait for reboot after flashing nightly, directly flash the apps2sd package. Otherwise you'll get into a bootloop.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
I didn't flash it every time when flash nightly. I'll let you know and try it later. I am going out now.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
If you don't flash every time when you flash nightly, it will no longer work. No wonder your free space is going down.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] NickHu:
Is it just me or do melvinchng's posts frustrate the hell out of you..? He's just so incredibly... special. And he posts these "guides" that contain knowledge that you could find easily, in a stupid and unreadable manner.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
hmm, 1st restart, freeze... 10... freeze all the way...

the swapper just keep hanging whenever it start to enable it >> here is the problem

i am restoring my backup, disable the swapper and try again.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] NickHu:
...*stares blankly*...

Wut?

Every time you flash a new nightly, /system/bin gets wiped (a2sd is in /system/bin)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
i am using swapper for root from market. maybe it work different as the swap file is placed in ext partition.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
can i use this to start a new thread?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
This is common knowledge. just because you didn't know it doesn't mean everybody doesn't. The instructions are right there on the darktremor thread.

Why do you wanna create more threads about the same old things?

I installed WP7 on my HTC HD2 and I have only 158 MB of the memory. The SD is inserted. How I can make my WP7 recognize my SD card?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] djwillis:
In simple terms you can't.

One of the reasons most WinPhone 7 manufactures hid there SD cards deep inside the units was because MS have some very specific requirements for the performance and specification of SD(HC) cards that the OS will use to combine with the on device NAND storage.

This mostly comes down to the speed of 4k block read/writes (so it seems) but also seems to require some card features that not all cards have (so there is some definite 'blacklisting/testing' going on during that 1st boot it would seem).

In simple terms, if after installing your SD card and doing a reset of the phone (via settings, about, reset or holding VolUp and VolDown during and after the 1234 GO GO... from Magldr) you don't see the SD card as usable space it is safe to say that it does not meet the requirements laid down in the WinPhone 7 SD driver and is not going to work, go and try another card :).

If your card IS recognised but the device seems exceptionally 'laggy' (hanging on the installing apps screen for a long time after the 1st reset is a big clue) then the chances are your card is no where near quick enough in the 4k read/writes to be used correctly by the OS (even though it detects it), again, time to try another card.

There is anecdotal suggestions that removing all existing partitions and on the card before you install it in a WinPhone 7 device helps with it being detected but then even if that is the case those same cards seem to then exhibit the very poor performance as above and that tends to imply they got blacklisted for a good reason ;).

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] simploid:
Where can I get this SD card blacklist for HD2 WP7?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
There isnt a blacklist as such

if any portion of your card doesnt match the required random access speeds then you can expect several outcomes

firstly it doesnt work

or you might get it working but with Wifi issues, lagging issues, unresponsive screen, random resets.

or you might find that only a portion of the card doesnt work, forinstance, mine was fine, then i slapped some music on it and it started this reset business, so i slapped some more music on it and it went away, take the second bunch of music off and it starts again, all portions of the card are in good working order but for whatever reason it didnt like using a small portion of the card for system uses.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] XPiemaster:
Correct me if I'm wrong but it also sounds like he is installing WP7 and then inserting the SD card afterwards.

The SD card should be inserted before installing WP7, so it can partition the SD card correctly and see it as "Total Storage" because WP7 doesn't support removable storage to begin with.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:

[Epic 4G General] SurgeHawk:
I bought a epic 4g from a friend of mine who works on phones and roots and all this when he likes. I am a person who takes a while to be okay with this. This phone is already rooted and has a costume ROM on it. and I have a few question about this and how this all works. I also bought this phone because its on Boost Mobile.

My Epic right now:

Model #:

SPH-D700

Firmware Version:

noobnl_Andromeda_Galaxy_ROM_v1.1.1a

Basebank Version:

D: D700.0.5S.DI18

(Disregard the space between the ":" and the "D")

Kernel version:

2.6.29

Build #:

SPH-D700 noobnl Andromeda Galaxy Kernel version 1.4.0

Hardware version:

D700.0.5

Lately I have been getting a "Android Update MR4 EC05 system update".

Is it okay for me to do this update?

Will it affect my service?

Where can I find info about this ROM?

I am noob, I have no knowledge about this and thats why I am coming here to learn.

Could someone point me in the right direction to learn about rooting, NAND Protection (I have a EVO 4G and im looking to unlock it), Just general information about all this.
[Epic 4G General] shahin26:
U rgetting a mesage to upgrade to froyo ec05? If yes do not do it yet. Just wait for noobl to upgrade his rom to this version of froyo and falsh it then. If you try to upgrade now you will most likely not be able to since some system and pre installed apps might have been removed from your rom and without them u r not able to upgrade. Look in the development section of this rom for updates. And feel free post your questions here or u can even pm me. I will try to help as much as I can althught I'm not very fimilar with this specefic rom.
[HD2 General] inconceeeivable:
Ugghhh...just shipped my HD2 this morning. Replacing it with an HD7...big mistake. Buttons are complete garbage. Build just feels sub-par in general.

Long story short, if you want the look of Windows Phone 7, use Hyperdroid with Launcher 7.

Just some random friendly advice to anyone thinking of switching. :)

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
It may have worked then but this time you were changng from a HD2 (THE GREATEST PHONE THERE IS) to another phone. So maybe you should have atleast found somewhere to test the HD7 out first to see if it really was worth changing to.
[HD2 General] inconceeeivable:
Yeah, would have been a good idea. I knew ahead of time that it had received some mixed reviews, but I thought it would still be usable.

Looks like HTC might honor the warranty. Sending in on Monday.

Thanks 4 the heads up. I was thinking of doing the same thing
[HD2 General] inconceeeivable:
Don't get me wrong, Windows Phone 7 is awesome, but if you're looking for HD2 build-quality, I'd look elsewhere.
[HD2 General] FerretAD:
Or if you wanted WP7, then you should have run it on the HD2 !

And this method worked for me with my HD2 - Best blind purchase I ever made, LOL :p
[HD2 General] inconceeeivable:
EDIT: Removed inane post lol.

Yeah, I blindly bought my HD2 as well. Good move there. Bad move with HD7. Bad move with Samsung Vibrant. Good move with N1. :p

Need to settle on a phone and keep it.
[HD2 General] lude219:
It should ONLY apply to the HD2.:p
[HD2 General] ng-gdata:
Well, the HD2 I got is far from perfect. The hardware buttons move about 1mm left and right and the display sinks deeper into the chassis in two corners.

Last week I ordered an HD7 and returned it because the back covers did not match evenly. But that might be O2s fault, as it's a branded device and they increased storage, so I guess I can't blame HTC for that. Well, fact is that HTC produces great devices, but if you have bad luck you'll get a bad one, just as me. The best thing to do is to return it and request a new device then. Yet, you depend on your retailer ,but Amazon proved to be quite customer friendly in this regard.

As for generell build quality: Apart from the issues I mentioned above I like both devices. The back cover of the HD7 is a bit fragile, but it's not supposed to be removed very often, as there shouldn't be that many occasions when you have to switch your sim or battery. Everything else looks great and is solidly built. btw: here is the image I sent to my retailer requesting a new device because of this: http://img232.imageshack.us/i/img1118gn.jpg/
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
Or if you want the look of WP7 on the HD2, flash WP7 lol. :D
[HD2 General] inconceeeivable:
Yeah, mine has the battery cover issue as well. I'm using it with a case though, so it's not a huge issue for me. Wish they had kept the brushed metal cover and physical buttons.
[HD2 General] inconceeeivable:
Meh, I'm not crazy about the activation process. Plus, Hyperdroid seems a bit more functional? Frankly I kind of miss multitasking in WP7 lol. Really liking it otherwise.

hboot-2.10.0001

radio-2.05.00.06.10

Before doing this I had updated everything hoping it would somehow fix it. (radio/nv/etc except) and had flashed CM7RC2, myn's warm, and several others just to play with it. I read some that someone with hwv4 having issues downgrading radio but that might have been user error. Also, from what I understand you can zero out the MEID to make it writable (Step#5) using other methods without having to downgrade the radio. This is simply what worked for me.

Cloning an esn either way is wrong, if you break into security of a bank to return stolen money, you still broke into a bank just with good intentions, may be a bad metaphor but you should get the point, cloning both ways is illegal
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untruestory:
From what I understand from reading the refrenced thread it has something to do with the trick used to make the MEID writable or it will not work.

I think you misread something somewhere.

I'm not going to get into this ridiculously played out debate and really it's off topic. If you can link to an actual government site that clearly states editing the MEID for such purposes is illegal or cases of actual criminal prosecution please post links.

Repairing the MEID is not like breaking into a bank to return money. That's absurd. It's like restoring the VIN on a car or ID# on a car stereo (which btw if have a car stereo you bought from some guy in the state of WI and it doesn't have a serial number it's a $500 fine just for having it in your possession even if there's no evidence it was ever stolen) If I had repaired the serial # on the stereo do you think I would have gotten a fine for fixing it?

The end-result of this process is the creation of two telephones, the original and a "clone," that carry the same telephone number and serial number.

That is not what is going on here. The OP is not cloning, there are not two phones with the same number. I don't see anything wrong (morally or legally) with this.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untruestory:
There are plenty of threads about the legalities out there. I'll say this and lets let it go:

1) although prosecution is extremely rare and most references to laws about it are out-dated altering an esn IS illegal.

2) people that get off telling other people that everything is illegal are probably just acting out because their parents didn't hug them enough growing up.

3) it is against forum rules because the forum can get in trouble because it is illegal.

4) REPAIRING the esn is not illegal and not against forum rules.

5) the topic of this thread involves REPAIRING the esn, not altering it.

Keep in mind that this write up is somewhat advanced, not every thief out there has any idea of what to do with the phone in order to make it 'usable'... all they want is cash.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattmulford:
Well at sprint they use the exact same system as boost for customer accounts. So when you give them the Dec number it will show up as an evo in the system. So most likely you are going to have to pull some trickery in regards to the Dec/esn number. Which I advise against. (Federal regs and all) but its really just going to depend on the Rep you get and how much they will let slide tbh.
